. " (A Philadelphia newspaper, has ad-
i . t. . i . . i
ahd the East to visit the orchards of
toe Northwest, to learn a lesson in
fruit culture. It contends that they
can raise Just as fine a quality of
apples 6n the Atlantic coast, if prop
ejr tare Is taken to preveut diseases
and pests. Attention is aiso caneu
to the attractive manner in which
Oregon and Washington apples are
sorted and packed, whereas the east
era fruit is dumped Into a barrel. It
concludes that this is only one. of
the many lessons that the eastern
farmer can learn from his western
brother.

There is a Wonderful
. Difference
between the light afforded by an ordinary carbon
incandescent and the brilliancy of our'new Tungsten v
lamp. The latter has a metal filament (the tiny wire
inside of the bulb) which radiates two and one. half
times as much light with same amount of electric
current.
A 40-Watt Tungsten Affords Twice tke Light
of the 50-Watt carbon lamp now in general use and
cost one-fifth less to burn. We recommend its use to
' our customers as it more than cuts their light bill in
two, making electric light so inexpensive that no
home, however humble, and no store, however small,
can afford to be without one. .
